Description
Packard – Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that advertises the All-New Packards. This hand-drawn advertisement was their last-ditch effort to sell cars. This ad has a drawing of the front end of a Packard showing the bumper, headlights and the front wheels as a well-dressed lady walking a large dog is standing next to it. The headline begins by saying that “Wherever You Go, People Know Packard“. It then says to “Go where you will in a 1958 Packard and you will note the car is always a standout. In any setting, elegance is immediately apparent in every line of the Packard’s carefully crafted exterior. And admirers looking into the car will notice luxurious appointments such as they have rarely seen before in any automobile. But the most striking feature of the new Packard styling is its originality. A long, forward sloping hood sweeps down to a simple, tastefully proportioned grille that is unmistakably identifiable on the highway. In fact, Packard cars are the most original on the American road. Flatter yourself…with this distinction. Guest-drive a 1958 Packard today“. The box at the bottom of the ad says “See the all-new Packards“ but it attributes it to the Studebaker-Packard Corporation.
